Last weekend my best friend Rea got married! We have been friends since we were 11 and been through lots together so it was an honour to do the stationary for the wedding. </div>

These images are all about colour, its good to take a step back and think about the way you work with colour and different ways to develop colour palettes. Working this way reminds me of university when we had to keep a 'colour book' throughout the course. I enjoyed playing around with different objects seeing how they work together and photographing the different groups. I have also used some of my existing photographs with colours I love to create new colour palettes.<br />
<br />
I am loving the course just wish there were more hours in the day so I could spend more time working on this. These are from an exercise in Module 1 we are now in week 2 of Module 2 more images to come I will keep you updated on how I'm getting on.<br />

It was my birthday on Friday and I was ever so lucky to receive this amazing new iMac from my lovely boyfriend. I have had a macbook for years which I love but is now quite old and very slow. I have wanted an iMac for years but not been able to afford one. (He has said this qualifies for my Christmas and birthday presents for a few years to come!)<br />
<br />
I have had such a wonderful weekend with my friends and family including lots of wine, dancing, family meals, country pubs, open fires and snow. Perfect!<br />
<br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The very talented Rachael Taylor has recently launched a new e-course 'The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design' in collaboration with Beth Nicholls from 'Do What You Love'. I have signed up for Module 1 which we are currently in the third week.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am loving the course so far, its been a while since I graduated from university so I thought it would be good to have something to work towards and gain more knowledge of surface pattern design. Everyday there are new posts in the 'classroom' and the course partisipants are from all over the world. So far we have covered 'Inspiration' 'Sketching' and now on week 3 we are covering 'Colour'. I will be continuing with Module 2 and 3 which start in January and April. I have found the course very inspiring and very excited to see what is still to come. When I have compleated more of the creative exercises I will post some images on here. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

As soon as our taxi from the airport dropped us off on a narrow, muddy dirt track surrounded my donkeys my first thought was that it looked more like a farmyard than a holiday destination. I knew this was going to be nothing like anywhere I have ever been before. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdf2pEFhJ-gyqlyO-CU79vbl2ZuY-EnrO7MjFSHAe7Kg1BeqBzwf7e_ybgpUftYiCk_Cudwb6qVGT-P5sFm9Fkhw3BY1S8uIy0ceC5qDRZwzpgBoRhxWYRCsbu_ARf9tuhPQ3_Nlaf4-g/s1600/IMG_1449.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Last weekend me and 7 of my friends went to Barcelona to celebrate my best friends 30th birthday. We had so much fun, lots of laughs and got very lost (came back realising none of us are very good at reading maps). While there we visited the food market where I took these pictures I love how much time and effort is put into presenting the food how could anybody resist something that looks this good!Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10722499828509505644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452654522423852121.post-23520938400112597352011-02-14T21:24:00.000+00:002011-02-14T21:24:23.299+00:00Happy valentines day......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tzDMiTeA8THiBwPDIndPP_MW59mHzstEp3A3Ivna4uyWCaaw6vGNwzWc6ccu39G-A3bRhBBSmIOtWBrm4dv0dwIMD05p3gjB51erY8dJ1r1Ly4Y-5UzksrEABzAzP6SMYu-ZITctXN8/s1600/val-balloons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tzDMiTeA8THiBwPDIndPP_MW59mHzstEp3A3Ivna4uyWCaaw6vGNwzWc6ccu39G-A3bRhBBSmIOtWBrm4dv0dwIMD05p3gjB51erY8dJ1r1Ly4Y-5UzksrEABzAzP6SMYu-ZITctXN8/s320/val-balloons.jpg" width="314" /></a></div>....love is in the air!

Here is my <a href="http://www.theydrawandcook.com/2010/11/bilberry-pie-by-kathryn-heptinstall.html">submission</a> for the fantastic website they draw and cook! I had so much fun creating this recipe illustration. Bilberry Pie is one of my mum's specialities, wild bilberries grow on the moors where I grew up so me and my sister used to go out collecting them (coming home with purple stained hands and mouth where we'd eaten more than we'd collected) mum now buys them in a jar which means we can have bilberry pie all year round!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much to the extremely talented Nate and Salli for letting me be part of this great project.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">What's a bilberry?? N.B "The fruit is smaller than that of the blueberry but with a fuller taste. Bilberries are darker in colour, and usually appear near black with a slight shade of purple. While the blueberry's fruit pulp is light green, the bilberry's is red or purple, heavily staining the fingers and lips of consumers eating the raw fruit".</span>Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10722499828509505644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452654522423852121.post-60513334317282004332010-11-01T15:43:00.001+00:002010-11-01T16:04:46.617+00:00Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair 2010<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjGvNO03Eg9ua5YaKCq2loqdm23duEn0zMcjB8q090FaQX69anLgJMJU0GGxHFoX-kI73KXFl-2ZhwMWYVVw5ssZvW0OH0P3M2NG7Foy4NQ7GXGzDiVl-8ioUOLFKiDixlfsiizpjjIk4/s1600/2010-jewellery-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjGvNO03Eg9ua5YaKCq2loqdm23duEn0zMcjB8q090FaQX69anLgJMJU0GGxHFoX-kI73KXFl-2ZhwMWYVVw5ssZvW0OH0P3M2NG7Foy4NQ7GXGzDiVl-8ioUOLFKiDixlfsiizpjjIk4/s320/2010-jewellery-poster.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Last weekend was Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair at Spinning Fields in Manchester.

This is a design that I've done for an engagement card for them.
